If you're shaky on your moveset for bisharp, I would say always run sucker punch/knock off. Both are incredibly good to have and Knock Off is can literally win you the game sometimes. Same with sucker punch, especially if you run sash.
Is the brick break on Aegislash for people who run reflect/light screen? Pretty cool idea. It can be iffy because things like bulky kang get 3HKO by it and something like sacred sword would have been more beneficial. I like the idea though and I might even try it honestly!
I think helping hand/protect/scald/focusblast or something like Encore would be really nice. People don't know this, but your scald will be doing just as much damage as an ice beam would be against things that are weak to ice but neutral to water. Due to rain/STAB.
108+ SpA Politoed Scald vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Landorus-T in Rain: 186-218 (94.8 - 111.2%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO
108+ SpA Politoed Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Landorus-T: 184-220 (93.8 - 112.2%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO
in the case of things that are 2x weak to water but 4x weak to ice ^
108+ SpA Politoed Scald vs. 212 HP / 96 SpD Thundurus in Rain: 84-99 (46.4 - 54.6%) -- 57% chance to 2HKO
108+ SpA Politoed Ice Beam vs. 212 HP / 96 SpD Thundurus: 84-100 (46.4 - 55.2%) -- 66.8% chance to 2HKO
in the case of things being 2x weak to ice but neutral to water ^
Tyranitar I don't have much of an opinion on sadly. :C
Thats up to you, both work well on your team. Mega and AV.
All in all I think this is a good team! I could see Landorus giving your team some trouble, but bisharp has a chance to OHKO with sucker punch from the defiant boost/Politoed can give it a fright too. Heatran can also be a threat but you also have a pair to deal with that. If you wanna work on being even safer of those 2, you could. But honestly they only threaten you, not necessarily outright beat you. Ya know?
